This post is part of the ๐Ÿ“– Building A Storybrand series.


Today, I am reading some new sections from chapter And Meets A Guide from the book Building a StoryBrand written by Author, Donald Miller.

Info! ๐Ÿ’ฌ
By reading this book Building a StoryBrand by Donald Miller, you will learn the seven universal story points all humans respond to. The real reason customers make purchases. How to simplify a brand message so people understand and act on it. How to create the most effective messaging for websites, brochures, and social media


Yesterday, I read HAS A PROBLEM section from The Simple SB7 Framework chapter.

THE TWO CHARACTERISTICS OF A GUIDE

The two things a brand must communicate to position themselves as the guide are

  • Empathy
  • Authority

The guide must have this precise one-two punch of empathy and authority to move the hero and the story along.

These are the characteristics the hero is looking for, and when she senses them, she knows sheโ€™s found her guide.

Express Empathy

When we empathize with our customersโ€™ dilemma, we create a bond of trust. People trust those who understand them, and they trust brands that understand them too.

Oprah Winfrey, an undeniably successful guide to millions, once explained the three things every human being wants most are to be seen, heard, and understood. This is the essence of empathy.

Action for you (Reader):

Scan your marketing material and make sure youโ€™ve told your customers that you care. Customers wonโ€™t know you care until you tell them.

ARE YOU LIKE ME?

Empathy is more than just sentimental slogans, though. Real empathy means letting customers know we see them as we see ourselves.

Commonality, whether taste in music or shared values, is a powerful marketing tool.

Key Takeaways

  • Customers look for brands they have something in common.

Summary

Express the empathy and show the authority and your customers will love you.
